Humans who can shapeshift into animals struggle to integrate with others without revealing their special abilities. As a group, they strive to inform and institute change in the perspective of deforestation and the importance of natural habitats. However, when that cannot happen, they're forced to take matters into their own hands.

For shapeshifter Carag and his friends Brandon, Holly, and Lou, a new school year begins at Clearwater High. But first, the Woodwalker Council must decide whether Carag's mentor and patron of the school, Andrew Milling, is guilty of attacking humans. Carag is in a dilemma: he wants to put a stop to Milling's actions, but Milling promises to take him to his true puma family if he covers for him before the council.

Carag’s battle against Andrew Milling enters its decisive phase: After being elected governor, Milling uses his “day of reckoning” to carry out a smear campaign, sowing discord between humans, animals, and Woodwalkers—putting them all in danger. When Carag fails to convince either the Council or his family and friends to reveal the Woodwalkers’ greatest secret—their very existence—in order to expose Milling and bring about peace, he decides to single-handedly strip Milling of his ability to shapeshift, only to lose his own in the process. A race against time begins to save Clearwater High and stop Milling once and for all!
